WHY GO?

Go is one of the most desired, easy to learn, and the highest paying programming languages. There are 1+ million Go programmers around the world, and the number is increasing each day exponentially. It’s been used by Google, Facebook, Twitter, Uber, Docker, Kubernetes, Heroku, and many others.

Go is Efficient like C, C++, and Java, and Easy to use like Python and Javascript. It’s Open-Source, Simple, Powerful, Efficient, Cross-Platform (OS X, Windows, Linux, …), Compiled, Garbage-Collected, and Concurrent.

Go is best for Command-line Tools, Web APIs, Distributed Network Applications like Microservices, Database Engines, Big-Data Processing Pipelines, and so on.

Go has been designed by one of the most influential people in the industry:

• Unix: Ken Thompson
• UTF-8, Plan 9: Rob Pike
• Hotspot JVM (Java Virtual Machine): Robert Griesemer
